UNITED STATES KARL KAELBLE, or NEW YORK, N. Y.

CIGAR MAKING.

Application filed June 8, 1923.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KARL KAELBLE, a citizen of Germany, residing at 21 Stuyvesant St, New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar Making, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements 1n cigar making and has for its OlQJGCl) the making of a cigar of improved construction and which will burn uniformly.

A further object of my invention is an improved process for the making of cigars which will provide a cigar of improved construction in a novel and economical manner.

Further objects of my invention will be apparent from the drawings and accompanying description in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the filler of my improved cigar with a temporary wrapper,

Figure 2 is a perspective of the filler 25 enclosed in the temporary wrapper having the ends covered with temporary caps,

Figure 3 is a cross section along the line 3-3 of Figure 4,

Figure 4 is a View of the temporary cap shown in Figure 2,

Figure 5 is a view of the filler and temporary wrapper shown in Figure 2 after it has been rolled and its diameter decreased,

Figure 6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 5,

Figure 7 shows the manner of applying the binder, and

Figure 8 the manner of applying the wrapper to the cigar.

The manner of making my cigar is as follows:

I take a small quantity of filler which has been slightly moistened, roll same into the form shown by 10 in Figure 1 and wrap same in a temporary wrapper 11. The temporary wrapper 11 may be a leaf of tobacco or preferably may be made of paper preferably tissue paper which can be removed before the cigar is finished. The filler after being wrapped in the temporary Wrapper 11, has its end covered with the improved Serial No. 644,151.

waterproof paper caps 12 shown in Figures 2 and 4 which caps-are provided for the purpose of preventing the too rapid drying of the ends. The form is then placed on the stand 13 for a time to permit the outer portion of the filler to dry, though this superficial drying of the outer portion of the filler may be aided with artificial heat if desired. The object of this drying is to leave the interior of this filler somewhat moist and. the exterior of the filler dry so that when the mass of filler is next operated on by a rolling or by a combination of pressing and rolling so as to provide a cigar of the proper shape and consistency, the interior of the filler will be compressed, whereas the exterior portion being drier than the interior, will tend to retain its shape and will be of looser texture than the interior. In practice it is desirable to store these unfinished cigars for a period in order that the tobacco may further ripen. The process of rolling or pressing the filler by hand decreasing its diameter is shown in Figure 6 which also shows the increasing density of the center of the filler.

The temporary wrapper is then removed and the binder 15 is applied spirally from the mouth end of the cigar and after this the permanent wrapper 16 is applied spirally over the binder but in the opposite direction to that of the binder.

I have found that a cigar made according to the foregoing process will smoke uniformly and will provide a more pleasurable sensation for the smoker than cigars made in the ordinary manner.

What I claim is 1. A process of making a cigar by formmg the filler loosely, covering said filler with a temporary wrapper, partially drying the exterior of said filler, compressing the interior of said filler by rolling, removing the temporary wrapper and applying .a binder and wrapper to said filler.

2. A process of making a cigar by forming the filler of the cigar loosely, partially drying the outer portion of said filler so that the interior and outer portion of said filler will be of different degrees of compressibility, compressing the interior of said filler by rolling and applying a Wrapper to said filler.

3. A process of making a cigar by form ing the filler loosely, partially and uniformly drying the exterior of said filler so that the exterior and interior of said filler Will be of difierent degrees of compressibility,

compressing the interior of said filler by rolling and then applying a binder and Wrapper to said filler.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.

KARL KAELBLE.
